And Now For Some Good News...

The Big Book of Bush

The Answers

Here are five good things the Bush administration has done for the environment.

1. Decided not to roll back protections for a 1,200-mile-long marine reserve in the Northwest Hawaiian Islands

2. Moved forward with plans requiring General Electric to dredge nearly four decades’ worth of PCB pollution from New York’s Hudson River

3. Let stand a decision by the supervisor of the Finger Lakes National Forest in New York not to allow oil and gas drilling in the forest

4. Doubled federal spending for cleaning up abandoned and contaminated industrial sites in urban areas

5. Supported a Clinton-era regulation requiring major reductions in diesel pollution
